Base and datum zero

Before carcasses are set, datum zero is established with a laser: worktop level, module axes, alignment to window and door opening. Base units are levelled on adjustable feet.

Floors are protected; site humidity is logged. Installation does not start if tolerances fail — otherwise fronts will not sit in one plane after appliances are fitted.

Carcass, fixing and joints

Carcasses are fixed to load-bearing walls with concealed brackets and reinforcement at stress points (worktop, wall units, integrated appliances). Side panels 18–19 mm; hinges and runners premium soft-close.

Junctions with floor, skirting and panels are defined in the project — no on-site improvisation.

Fronts, gaps and handover

Fronts are hung after final carcass geometry check. Even gaps between doors, coplanar fronts, ceiling compensation joint designed in from the start.

Handover checklist: opening, soft-close, junctions, lacquer/veneer care schedule. Protocol and service contacts for seasonal adjustment are provided.
